Chapter 60: Hearing about Kunlun Gao Ning’s last words

It will take time to fully recover. We left the area and found a dry place to build a fire and dry the clothes that were half wet and half dry from last night.

This incident left me with too many mysteries. It was only at this time that I could calmly think about what was going on, especially the shocking moment when the purple monster suddenly disappeared, and the clouds and pavilions that I saw in a trance at that moment.

The older generation didn’t know what to say, and they drove us away. On our side, there was only me, Chengxin, and Ruyue. As for Gao Ning, he was always in a corner, looking very sad, and he didn’t approach anyone. I don’t know what he was thinking.

He is not my friend, but respect is the most basic thing for anyone, even if you are facing a beggar or someone like Gao Ning who is almost no longer human.

Out of respect, I didn’t bother Gao Ning.

At first, the three of us didn’t say anything, each of us in our own thoughts. Later, it was Ru Yue who couldn’t stand it anymore. She put her hand on her chin and said helplessly, “Cheng Xin, San Ge, tell me how that monster disappeared.”

Chengxin and I looked up at the same time and almost said in unison, “That’s what I wanted to ask.”

It turned out that the three of us were all thinking about this question. We smiled at each other and the three of us began to discuss this question around the campfire. To be honest, the two of us are descendants of Taoism, and one of us is a descendant of the Gu Miao. We have seen strange things since we were young, and our outlook on life is different from ordinary people. Our psychological endurance is also much stronger, but this incident still left us unable to escape from the shock.

As Yue said, there are immortals, and they suddenly took away the monster.

This statement made me and Brother Chengxin laugh. Immortals? In fact, deep down, we don’t really believe it. Taoists are not idealists, as people think. Many things are also based on seeing for yourself, with concrete evidence.

But when Ru Yue said that, I also expressed my feelings, which were the same kind of feelings.

Because that feeling can only be understood, not expressed, I don’t know if I made myself clear, or if I expressed it very specifically. In any case, Yueyue was listening in a daze, but Chengxin was lost in thought.

Chengxin is a medical student, but no one understands this descendant of the medical word. He studied physics in college, and he thought for a long time before saying, “Chengyi, do you know about space? Dimension space!

I studied Chinese literature in college, and in those days, it wasn’t an era of information explosion, and the gaps between knowledge were still quite large. I didn’t know anything about dimensional space.

So I shook my head and said to Brother Chengxin, “Don’t tell me anything too technical. Just keep it simple. You’re just a half-baked amateur. You were busy falling in love with different girls in college.”

Chengxin brother’s face turned red and he coughed twice.

But at this moment, I couldn’t help but think of someone, Brother Sheng, he is the real mad scientist, his knowledge is so impressive that if he could explain it in a simple way, it would be amazing.

Cheng Xin Ge was able to hide his embarrassment, and then said, “Since you want me to explain it simply, I will explain it simply. I suspect that the overlapping feeling you are talking about is that the space overlapped at that moment. The so-called space can be understood as different spaces and times. After all, what our human eyes can capture is limited, so I won’t explain it to you in detail. Rather than overlapping, I think it is closer to repulsion. It is that the space we are in repels the monster, then tears open a crack, and then returns to the space that belongs to it.

This explanation was too bizarre, and only Ruyue was stunned for a long time, and said one sentence. She said, “Can the monster also ascend?”

“Heh heh heh…” Suddenly a burst of laughter interrupted our conversation. I turned around and saw Gao Ning not far away. I couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Gao Ning, what are you laughing at?”

Gao Ning said, “I don’t have much time left anyway, so I’m just looking for a way out. Chen Chengyi, I haven’t known you for long, but after I became this strange creature, I often thought about my life, and sadly realized that maybe you were the friend I wanted, but at the time, nothing was more important than my plans, and friends were just bullshit. But then, I really regret that I didn’t have a friend, someone I could confide in at the end.”

I didn’t understand what Gao Ning meant, and suddenly laughed, and then suddenly said something so strange to me. What did he mean?

Gao Ning continued, “Kunlun, Chen Chengyi, you saw Kunlun!”

“What?” I suddenly felt my blood boiling, and my whole body was trembling slightly. Gao Ning said I saw Kunlun? Does that mean that the monster suddenly disappeared and went to Kunlun?

“Knowing too much is not necessarily a blessing. The most frightening thing is that you know so much, but you can’t prove it, and you can’t pursue it. Sometimes you don’t even have a direction, and it’s even more painful. Chen Chengyi, I said, I’m sorry, I know all my life, but I don’t have a friend to tell. But I, Gao Ning, am someone who will do what he thinks. Don’t get excited. You will get my answer. You will.” Gao Ning suddenly said to me.

But I couldn’t think anymore. I was trying to remember everything I had seen. The fog was so thick that I could only see the roof of a pavilion in the distance. The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, because the more I thought about it, the more I doubted whether I had really seen it.

At that moment, Chengxin suddenly pushed me, then poured a pot of half-cold water on my head without asking, and said loudly, “Don’t think anymore.”

I suddenly came to my senses and realized that I had just been in a very dangerous situation. Just as thinking too much can lead to obsession, and it is difficult to distinguish between reality and fantasy, it can lead to mental illness.

If it wasn’t for Brother Chengxin’s timely awakening, I was afraid that I would have gone crazy if I had continued to think about it.

Ruyue looked at me with concern and said, “Brother San, your eyes were so scary just now, you were almost going crazy.”

I let out a long sigh. I knew I had just been caught up in that kind of madness. The more I couldn’t prove that I had really seen it, the more I wanted to think back and prove that I had really seen it.

Chengxin sighed and said to Gao Ning, “Don’t say anything. There’s been too much going on today. He’s not in the right state of mind to think too much.” After a pause, Chengxin also said, “I’m not in the right state of mind to think too much either.”

At dusk, with the help of my master, I opened the box. Inside was a golden talisman.

“There was only one, and it’s gone. My master told me that this talisman is for his old relationship, and it can’t be used until the critical moment. It seems to be true.” This is what my master said to me.

I was still in shock, I had never thought that I would be able to see a golden talisman in my life.

“This talisman was drawn by your master, and it took a lot of effort. It can summon three true thunderbolts, and Gao Ning can be freed.” After saying this, the master turned and left.

At this moment, the setting sun was just right, reflecting a magnificent red sky, like a ball of red ink, which was opened by the clear water, so beautiful that it made people’s breathing light.

The setting sun was gently radiating its residual heat, and with the warm light of the day, it was taking the last moments to dazzle everyone.

Gao Ning sat on the hillside, facing the gentle breeze and not knowing what he was thinking. I took the box and walked over to him.

“Are we going to start?” Gao Ning asked me.

I couldn’t say what I was feeling, so instead I squatted down and took out two cigarettes that I had begged from Chengxin and lit them for him and myself.

“Do you have anything to say?” I asked softly.

“Yes, I’ve never seen the sunset so beautiful before. I suddenly understand what your master said. The world is beautiful, and the important thing is that a person must have the heart to appreciate the beauty. This kind of state of mind is more fulfilling than living in purgatory forever. I finally understand.” Gao Ning didn’t turn his head, but just said this to me.

He had lost his own appearance, but at this moment, I seemed to see a truly peaceful Gao Ning that I had never seen before.

I didn’t say anything, and we smoked a cigarette in silence. We had done this many times before, but this was really the last time.

I took out the talisman, and Gao Ning didn’t move. He just sat on the ground and looked at the setting sun in the distance, then said to me, “It’s good, I’m going to be relieved. By the way, you must go to the courtyard house in Beijing where you live. I left you something. It’s not precious, just a letter.”
